This short is an early example of director Todd Solondz's fascination with childhood awkwardness and sexuality, delivered in trademark deadpan style. Here a young boy describes his babysitters, and the occasional sexual connection that ensues. Characters (and uncomfortable moments) are the focus of Solondz films, and that is certainly the case with this one, told in a series of more or less single shot vignettes, with sharp dialogue and narration, but not much in the way of an actually story. This is not as challenging as some of Solondz features, but fans will recognise both the style and the content.
